Greater University committee will present the Board of Recreation with 10.027 signatures—all at-tion.
Greater U committee chairman, — *the group will hand over the petition to the commissioners who will consider it at their 10 a.m. meeting today. Before the board takes any final action, the petition and its signatures will be investigated by the beard’s office staff.
C ARRIES WEIGHT Flower is confident the petition will carry considerable weight in any decision city officials might j make.
“I believe the petition already has influenced city officials," Flower said. ‘ They have withheld action making 2-hour parking restrictions within Exposition park and on neighboring streets permanent."
It is believed the petition will indicate student and resident feeling toward the parking situation and give Councilman G. Vernon: Bennett's resolution added weight, i BENNETT ASKS Bennett s resolution, submitted to the city council last month, asks for liberalized and expanded park- I ing facilities in the campus area. It would change parking procedure j on Exposition boulevard. Hoover, and 36th streets.
Greater University committee j members canvassed the campus1 with copies of the petition for two i weeks seeking the signature of j every student. They also canvassed the residential area near the campus to get signatures of homeowners who were affected by the lack of parking space for students. I

IFC Meeting Propose Annual Dance
A new bylaw, which would initiate an annual Interfratemity council dance, will be proposed at tonight's IFC meeting, said Whitey Fruhling, IFC president. The meeting will be at the Kappa Alpha house at 5.
Scholarship, faculty - fraternity relationship, and foreign student aid also will be brought before the council.
The dance, if added to the bylaws, will supply money to send a representative to the national IFC meetings held in the east every year during Thanksgiving vacation.
“Scholarship will be greatly stressed by fraternities this year," Fruhling said. He added that a committee would be set up immediately to work out a plan to raise the fraternity grade point average.
Improved faculty-fratemity relations will also be a goal, of the present IFC administration. "The way it now stands,” said Fruhling, "professors often do not really know fraternity men. We hope to start a series of fraternity-faculty luncheons as soon as possible."
During previous terms the IFC has collected donations for CARE, who in tum has aided foreign students through the university. This semester IFC hopes to start a new plan in which a foreign student on campus will be given free room and board by fraternities.
Padgett Asks Removal of Race Questions From Application Forms

* BULLETIN—As the Daily Trojan went to press last night, the ASSC Senate still was to consider a resolution to be offered by Veterans Representative Bob Padgett that the Senate go on record against the request for race and descent information on applications for admission to the university and urging the deletion of such required information on the admission blanks.
by Harvey Diederich and Jerry Bres
Closing the loophole in its authority over member schools, the ASSC Senate last night voted unanimously to adopt a bylaw giving the group the power to pass on the constitutional amendments of member schools.
The bylaw requires that all schools submit proposed con---* stitutional amendments to the Senate for approval before they may be adopted.
Veterans Representative Bob Padgett's constitutional amendment went down to a stinging 21-7 defeat. Padgett's legislation would have prohibited previous service on councils for eligibility for ASSC office.

Says Dr. Zech
Threat that the student lounge would be invaded by professional gamblers has been nipped by the DT, according to Dr. Albert Zech. counselor of men.
“Published comments have alerted the students,” Dr. Zech said yesterday.
“The lounge is one of the finest in the country." he said. $32,000. SC’s proceeds from the Rose bowl game with Michigan, went into redecorating and furnishing the lounge.
GOOD CITIZENS
Students earned the facilities “by being good citizens over a long period of time,’’ Dr. Zech said.
“Many universities ban card tables from the campus. University officials have installed them here because they feel students are respon-lble and deserving,” Dr. Zech said, “but we want them to respect rules and regulations.”
ZECH SUGGESTS
He repeated that the lounge would be just what the students make it. He suggests that students who notice abuses should quietly inform violators they are out of order and ask them to leave.
The university wants students to “keep their own house,’’ he said.
Indication that students will do that was offered by Mrs. Bernice Tiegs, lounge hostess, who said several men introduced themselves and pledged to aid her if there was any trouble.
ASSC President Johnny Dans interrupted a lengthy debate on the Padgett proposal and told the Senate that clarification of present Senate authonty was needed to (Continued on Page 4)

SU Wreckers
Defacement of Student Lounge Scored
by Jim Werner
Here we go again.
The student lounge and the area in and around Student Union still are taking a terrible beating every day, according to Janitor Dan Porrazzo.
Completely redecorated last fall to conceal the scars of past battering. the lounge shows some new sign of defacement almost every day, he said. The floors, tables, and rugs have been scarred by cigarettes in numerous places, even though ash trays are placed on each table and a number of tray j
stands are spread around the lounge.
Radiator grills, loer.ted along tho
windows on each side of tiie uj.nge, have been bent in by students standing on them. This occurred during Homecoming week and was observed by one of the janitors, Porrazzo stated.
The new metal chairs which were placed in the lounge during re-decoration already have needed repair. Although they have only been in use four months, all the chairs had to be soldered because they had
been weakened by students leaning back on them, he said.
Another problem in the lounge is to keep it clean every day.
• B:cause the students continually mess it up with papers, dinner sacks, and throw cigarettes down anywhere, we have to keep one janitor on duty in the lounge ?11 day. This would be unnecessary it the students would only cooperate with us,” Porrazzo said.
The student lounge isn’t the only area that keeps Porrazzo and ms crew of janitors busy. Keeping the
rest of SU clean is quite a task also, he said.
Twice daily the area in ana around SU has to be swept to pick up all the scrap paper thrown on the sidewalk and floors. The floor area in front of the candy counter has to be swept every hour.
Porrazzo also scored Trovets and the Wampus for some of their activities.
He said that the Trovets are abusing their office by throwing cigarette butts on the floors and also are scarring the tops of their desks by putting their feet on them.

SU Wreckers
Defacement of Student Lounge Scored
by Jim Werner
Here we go again.
The student lounge and the area in and around Student Union still are taking a terrible beating every day, according to Janitor Dan Porrazzo.
Completely redecorated last fall to conceal the scars of past battering. the lounge shows some new sign of defacement almost every day, he said. The floors, tables, and rugs have been scarred by cigarettes in numerous places, even though ash trays are placed on each table and a number of tray j
stands are spread around the lounge.
Radiator grills, loer.ted along tho
windows on each side of tiie uj.nge, have been bent in by students standing on them. This occurred during Homecoming week and was observed by one of the janitors, Porrazzo stated.
The new metal chairs which were placed in the lounge during re-decoration already have needed repair. Although they have only been in use four months, all the chairs had to be soldered because they had
been weakened by students leaning back on them, he said.
Another problem in the lounge is to keep it clean every day.
• B:cause the students continually mess it up with papers, dinner sacks, and throw cigarettes down anywhere, we have to keep one janitor on duty in the lounge ?11 day. This would be unnecessary it the students would only cooperate with us,” Porrazzo said.
The student lounge isn’t the only area that keeps Porrazzo and ms crew of janitors busy. Keeping the
rest of SU clean is quite a task also, he said.
Twice daily the area in ana around SU has to be swept to pick up all the scrap paper thrown on the sidewalk and floors. The floor area in front of the candy counter has to be swept every hour.
Porrazzo also scored Trovets and the Wampus for some of their activities.
He said that the Trovets are abusing their office by throwing cigarette butts on the floors and also are scarring the tops of their desks by putting their feet on them.
